If not for Chark and Dupre making some great catches, his day looks much different.
NCAA QB's generally don't have pinpoint accuracy. Get the ball to your playmakers, let them use their athletic advantage to get the ball and move it upfield. He did fine, his WR's started making plays they should have been making for years.

That said he has done well and has better wheels then i thought. I think he needs to come out of the pocket a little quicker and use his legs some. If he is going to take us to the title he will have to make great decisions and utilize his legs some (underestimated runner)and have pretty exceptional accuracy
The 5 blocking in front of him is what really scares me. As I've said many times, (And will continue to say) the talent on the field and their development by the OL Coach is not up to SEC standards.........

"The" standard? No sir. Thats the problem. LSU fans have gotten a bit confused. The SEC has struggled as a whole this season due to "poor coaching" and "poor QB play".
Yeah I don't buy that. Danny Etling looked like Joe Montana compared to the Heisman trophy winner. Why? Defense. The SEC isn't slipping, although there are definitely some bad coaches in the league.
Eta: the SEC isn't historically known for QB play, like they are for defense. I don't really see huge changes in the recent past in those categories.
we could have beat anyone the way we played Louisville.

Agreed. That's Part of the reason that the standards are so low, and part of the reason we find so many transfer QBs finding starting rolls here.

That offense would have struggled vs the same squads we lost against. Again, it's hard to accept that your standard is too low, when it's the only standard you've ever had.

You are really invested in trying to convince this board how DE isn't the answer at qb.
It's odd.
Seems like it's personal with you.

Why can't I simply have an opinion? As I fan, I am entitled to an opinion on how I'd like to see the offense function. Just as some people are very pleased with where we are, why can't I simply view it differently without it being personal? There are just as man posters here, that go out of their way to bolster the idea that we merely need "competent" play. What's personal about believing that we need better than that? It's football. A discussion board. There nothing "odd" about looking at the video posted, and seeing what I see.

I'm with you on that. Florida ST would have been merely a good team instead of a NC without Winston. Same with Clemson with DeSean Watson. While you can win big with merely a pretty good QB, a really good to great one would make it a whole lot more likely. Hopefully we get that with either Narcisse or Brennon. At least they seem to have more potential coming in than what we have had lately (other than maybe Harris)

Above average is better than what we had with Jennings and Harris, and he's proving a game manager who doesn't screw up can lead us to double digit wins. He's led us to 7 such wins

You are basing that premise on:
A) an undersized qb that has never taken a meaningful college football snap
B) players that have already been passed up on depth chart
That's why it seems personal.
Etling isn't a 5 star recruit that's gonna make millions in the NFL.
We don't have one of those on the roster currently.
Luckily for LSU that's not what we need.
If Etling makes the improvements that WE ALL expect ALL players to make from their 1st year starting to their 2nd year, then there's Absolutley no reason why his performance and production won't be more than enough to give this team every chance to win every game next year.
You can't argue with that.
If you do, that's why it appears like its personal or you have some sort of agenda driven narrative.
That's as plain as I can put it to you.

Basing my opinion on watching this season and the video posted. I'm hopeful the answer could come from "anyone" on the depth chart. With a new OC, hopefully "who got passed" goes out of the window. Not personal at all. We are supposed to be a major football power. We need "that guy" at QB.
On improving, of course that goes with ALL players. I have know idea as to the NFL potential of the rest of the roster (and don't care). If you want a real shot at a national championship, you need more. That's not personal. Just my "personal" opinion.

I agree. He had a lot of incompletions in the second half. Someone else mentioned missing a check down when he threw to a covered guy. He did that more than once.

I think Canada will be able to get the best out of Etling. The best scenario is for Etling to keep improving under Canada while Brennan fills out under a RS season. Etling will graduate and Brennan can take over as RS Freshman while being able to sustain hits.
I was worried about ED O being named HC because it is totally dependent on him having stud coordinators. BUT he appears to be adjusting and moving forward. I think that Canada was an excellent choice.....especially since we didn't bring in Kiffin and all of his bullshite

Just want to bump this thread for anyone watching Watson march Clemson down the field twice by throwing it up and letting his receivers go get it.

Because he's not. Good God, at LSU, fans would rather we have the stale average QB when we have very talented guys behind him who just need to be put in the right system and given a chance in that system.
